About this study
Primary Objective:
The overall goal of this protocol is to test initial efficacy of three versions of an educational tool for use by patients and health-care providers to help men with localized prostate cancer make informed decisions about discontinuation of active surveillance. A pre-post design was selected to provide initial efficacy data of the different versions of the shared decision-making intervention. Thereby, providing preliminary data in preparation for a follow-up comparative study.
